<A NAME="TI1803"></A><p>The interface-specific Database Profile Setup dialog box makes
it easy to set additional connection parameters in the development
environment or in code. You can:<A NAME="TI1804"></A>
<ul>
<li class=fi>Supply values
for connection options supported by your database interface<br>
Each database interface has its own Database Profile Setup
dialog box that includes settings only for those connection parameters
supported by the interface. Similar parameters are grouped on the
same tab page. The Database Profile Setup dialog box for <i>all</i> interfaces
includes the Connection tab and Preview tab. Depending on the requirements
and features of your interface, one or more other tab pages might
also display.<br></li>
<li class=ds>Easily set additional connection parameters in the development environment<br>
You can specify additional connection parameters (database
parameters and transaction object properties) with easy-to-use check
boxes, drop-down lists, and text boxes. PowerBuilder generates the
proper syntax automatically when it saves your database profile
in the system registry.<br></li>
<li class=ds>Generate connection syntax for use in your PowerBuilder
application script<br>
As you complete the Database Profile Setup dialog box in PowerBuilder, the
correct connection syntax for each selected option is generated
on the Preview tab. PowerBuilder assigns the corresponding database
parameter or transaction object property name to each option and
inserts quotation marks, commas, semicolons, and other characters
where needed. You can copy the syntax you want from the Preview
tab into your PowerBuilder script.<br>
